      ab: The purpose of this study was to develop a computer assisted instruction (CAI) module on computer literacy for undergraduate community health majors and conduct a formative evaluation. Subjects utilized a CAI module on computer literacy for health educators. The subjects provided feedback on the module through investigator observation and in interviews. Evaluation criteria for interactive multimedia courseware were used by the subjects in this study as a checklist for evaluating the CAI module during use and the interview process. Content analysis was conducted on data collected in the interviews. Notes and transcripts were coded to identify consistent comments, then further analyzed to determine patterns in the responses. The relationships between the amount of time spent using the CAI module and previous computer experience or training and between topic selection and previous computer experience or training was determined. A significant difference was found between having previous computer training or not in terms of the amount of time spent using the module. There was a direct relationship between time spent using the module and the amount of topics chosen. A significant difference was found between having previous computer training or not in terms of the topics selected. In general, the participants perceived the CAI module positively. Some of the participants expressed negative perceptions about the mechanics of navigating in the program. The negative perceptions seemed to have no relationship to previous computer experience or training, time on task, or topics viewed.
